Singer D4vd Found with 'Significant Amount' of Child Sex Abuse Images - Prosecutors

  • On Thursday, prosecutors revealed that a cellphone belonging to singer David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, contained a "significant amount" of child pornography during a court hearing in the murder case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
  • Prosecutors allege Burke killed Rivas Hernandez in April 2025 after she threatened to expose his criminal conduct, months before her dismembered body was discovered in his Tesla at Hollywood Tow last September.
  • Wednesday's autopsy report revealed Rivas Hernandez died from "multiple penetrating injuries" to the torso, ruling the death a homicide, while authorities noted the teen's body was dismembered with plastic fragments embedded in cut surfaces.
  • Burke pleaded not guilty to murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and mutilation of human remains on Monday, remaining in custody without bail as his attorneys prepare to "vigorously defend his innocence."
  • A status conference is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, ahead of a preliminary hearing on May 1, where the court will determine if sufficient evidence exists for the case to proceed to trial.
